Chapter 96: Chapter 96

: Tell Her

Jay's Pov

"Matteo you have to tell her the whole truth," I watch him take another shot of whisky in his hand while ignoring me.

I was in the office sorting out our finances paperwork when he storms into the office.

His eyes were red and he screams in the office then smashes photos and lamps that he could find within his reach.

I knew his wolf was surfacing by his actions and once he calms down he told me what happened earlier with him and Adassah.

At the same time, he's guilty of everything. He knows he shouldn't have been shouting at her and questioning her love for him. It's not like their love is true after all, everything is a lie.

He is lying to her except for the fact that he loves her.

Yet, what's even worst was the surprising arrival of his son and Quinn which has made Matteo ignore her.

He told me that he is too ashamed to face her now and that is why he's keeping his distance from her for the meantime until he figured things out.

I said Quinn came on the wrong timing, and she should have informed him that she's bringing Jona and her mate here. In that way maybe Matteo will then be more prepared for it.

I could see that she want Matteo to take ownership but I would say now is not the right time. I know he is torn between his son and his Mate.

We have been sharing our problems recently with each other especially his guilt over Adassah, then the return of Quinn and his son.

He looks so vulnerable and insecure rambling on that Adassah will leave him once the truth is discovered.

So here I am trying to tell my best friend to tell her the truth.

"Matteo" I try again

"I can't" he mutters pouring another one in his cup.

I snatch it away from his hand before he drinks again and I chuck down the liquid to my throat.

"You can't keep her in the dark forever Matteo. What do you think she'll do when she finds out the truth?" I try to make my friend see the possibility of the consequences of his actions if the truth is not being revealed to her.

"I can't," he says holding back his tears and his head hung low.

"She deserves the truth and to free yourself from all this guilt you have to tell her. Yes! She will be mad but maybe she will understand. I know she loves you" I try to reason with him again.

"Matt, do you think she'll still be here, with you, with our pack if she finds out before you do?" realizing what I just said I curse under my breath.

The glass shatter against the wall "that's why I can't," he shouted at me luckily his office is soundproof and I know no one bothers to listen in to our conversation. Plus we are the only ones in this house

"I can't lose her, not now or forever. I just love her so much that I'm always guilty whenever she's with me and I selfishly want her all for myself."

He broke down into tears "I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm fucking in love with her that it hurts so much. If she left me I don't think I'll ever survive again."

I can see all the regret and pain written all over his face.

My best friend has never been like this maybe he was in love before but hurt and pain were emotions that I have never seen in him or he has shown to me or towards anyone.

Only Adassah is doing this to him and I don't blame her as it wasn't even her fault as if she remembers what happens.

Matteo and I knew the one at fault here is him. He has hurt her not just hurt but deeply have broken her before she loses her memories.

He had the chances again months ago or the whole year yet everything went down the drain with his father's involvement. Then Quinn fucking him while he was drunk in pain.

Now he has a son and Adassah knew nothing of it.

We don't know when or where her memories will be back but I know one thing. She's going to leave him if he doesn't tell her the truth now.

He needs to be honest to her and it's the least he could do for her and him.

To think again I think my friend has a point too because even I can't read Adassah.

Whether she will discover the truth or not I think she will still leave him, given that he has hurt her way too much in the past.

Not only that what Matteo is doing is for her happiness because the time they've been together she looks happier than anyone else.

"Matteo, you know drinking is not the answer, you need to get a hold of yourself," I walk up to him and pat him on the shoulder while he sunk to the couch and cries.

"I don't know what to do Jay" he cries "I am afraid she is going to leave me. I mean after waiting for so long and now we're together but everything is messed up and l just don't know anymore if the moon goddess did want us to be together or not."

He struggled with his words and breath, "it's so easy to tell her the truth but honestly, it's so hard to bring me to do it because either way I know I'll lose her in the end."

I ended up silently crying while patting my friend on the back. There was nothing I could do as his friend except to comfort him and give him advice that I think is best for him now.

Indeed, I know nothing of the pain he's going through. So maybe I understand but I'll never feel it and know what it's like because I have never been there.

Who am I to judge him then and the choices he made.

"You're right" he sniffles "I'll tell her the truth but I can't do it without my best friend. I mean you know she'll leave right?" he said unsure while wiping off his tears using the back of his hand and I swear at him.

"Fuck bro don't go all girly on me, and besides you don't know unless you try" I sarcastically said it and he laughed a little.

Seeing a smile on his face I relax a little and place my hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Matt you know I'll always be there for you man. When you decide to tell her, let me know."

We heard the door knock then her delicate voice came from outside

"Matteo."

I look aside to find his eyes widen in fear that she might have heard us talking about her situation a while ago.

I try to calm him down assuring him that everything is going to be fine and that Adassah may not have heard us talking about their relationship.

I watch him fix himself and clean up the mess he made including the empty bottle of whisky on the table.

Once he is done and I know that he is okay and ready to face her, I open up the door slowly to see the sapphire eyes of Adassah which focus behind me.

I smiled at her and nod my head for her to move inside while I walk out of there leaving the two alone in the office.

As I walk away I hope for one thing and it is for my best friend and that if Adassah ever finds out the truth;

I truly want them to fix it instead of running away from each other.
